Today is Senior Shopping Day at Fred Meyer, so I'll be heading over there in a bit. I'm making out my list of needs for the month. At the top of the list is lightbulbs. The strangest thing happened last month; four bulbs in the kitchen all went out within 2 weeks of each other. We have a fixture above the kitchen table that uses 5 bulbs. Well, 3 of them went out. I need to bring our kitchen back up to brightness, so I'll be picking up replacement bulbs, using the 10% discount today. Other items on my list for the month:
- milk, regular and soy/almond
- feminine hygiene supplies
- bathroom tissue
- more eggs (they are on sale, and with discount will cost about 89 cents/dozen)
- bulk almonds (on sale, and I have a coupon to use in that department)
- a Lindt Easter treat (again, I have a coupon) and maybe one other treat
- carrots, celery, potatoes, frozen peas, and a little asparagus
- additional fruit (beyond what I bought last Friday)
- vitamins and supplements
- gardening supplies
- some inexpensive Easter gifts, from Daiso, likely
- raisins
- cocoa powder
- butter
In addition, last Friday, I stopped at Cash & Carry after an appointment. Everything that I bought there was put into April's grocery spending. I bought:
- 5-lb loaf of sharp cheddar
- 5-lb bag of shredded mozzarella
- 15 dozen case of large eggs
- 5-lb bag of Pink Lady apples
- 40-lb case of navel oranges
- 17 bananas
It's not a super big list, but then we still have a lot to use, at home. With eggs in abundance, we will once again be eating a lot of egg dishes for dinner. We had a spinach frittata last night, and it was delicious.
